Extract:
A client has ataxia.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse notes that a client has ataxia. Which of the following tests should the nurse use to gain more information about this client’s gait?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Romberg test. Ataxia is a condition affecting coordination and balance. The Romberg test assesses the client's ability to maintain balance with eyes closed, which helps identify proprioceptive deficits contributing to gait abnormalities. Plantar flexion (
A), Achilles reflex (
C), and Patellar reflex (
D) are not directly related to assessing gait or balance. The Romberg test specifically targets the client's ability to maintain balance, making it the most appropriate choice in this scenario.
